Billy and the Lost Island

Billy the rock appeared on a lost island in the Pacific Ocean. He was feeling depressed because he was by himself – he was lonely.

Twenty years had passed and he had been looking for a way out for all that time. Billy was so mad that his rough face scrunched up.

One day, Billy came across a piece of grass called Gary. Gary was having the time of his life. He was surrounded by millions of friends and there were loads of storms to help him grow tall.

Billy said, “Do you know the exit to this island?”

“How’s she cuttin’?” replied Gary.

“I’ll be cuttin’ you if you don’t tell me the exit!” said Billy.

““There is no exit because this island is magic,” Gary told him. “There are fairies, silver-tooth tigers and the island has a mind of its own. Once you step foot on the island, you can’t leave.”

Gary saw Billy’s disappointment and took him back to his tree.

“If you really want to get off this island, you might try speaking to Dr Bacon, the king of the island,” said Gary.

Billy made his way to the middle of the island, where there was a castle surrounded by a lake. Next to the lake, there was a big tree that calmed minds.

Billy was so nervous that he needed to calm his mind. When he went over to the tree, he realised that Dr Bacon had taken the tree’s calming powers away. Billy went back to the lake and tried to skip himself across it.

But he failed and fell in!

Just then, Billy saw a plane crash onto the island. Out came a human and Billy thought this was his chance to escape…

比利是一顆石頭,他住在太平洋上的一座失落島。他感到很鬱悶也很寂寞,因為沒有人跟他作伴。

就這樣二十年過去了,他不斷尋找離開這座島嶼的方法,卻始終失敗。比利非常氣憤經常板著他那張粗糙的臉。

某天,比利遇到一片名叫蓋瑞的小草,蓋瑞很享受他的人生,因為他有數不完的家人朋友們陪伴著他,也有風雨讓他成長茁壯。

比利問:「你知道怎麼離開這座島嶼嗎?」

「嗨,你今天好嗎?」蓋瑞反問。

比利不高興地說:「如果你不告訴我怎麼離開這裡,我就讓你不好!」

「你沒辦法離開這裡,因為這是一座有魔法的島嶼。」蓋瑞告訴比利。「這座島上住著小精靈和銀齒虎,而且島嶼本身也有靈魂。一旦來到了這座島,你就永遠無法離開。」

蓋瑞看到比利失落的表情,並決定帶他回到自己原本生長的那棵樹。

蓋瑞安慰道:「如果你真的想離開這座島,就要跟這座島的國王也就是培根博士商量看看。」

於是,比利啟程前往島的中央。那裡有座矗立在湖泊中央的城堡,湖邊有一棵大樹,這棵大樹有種能夠安定人心的力量。

比利想到要跟國王見面就覺得很緊張,因此他嘗試讓自己冷靜下來。當他來到樹下,才發現培根博士早就奪走了這棵樹的力量。比利只能回到湖邊,並嘗試跳躍過湖泊抵達城堡。

但他失敗了,而且掉進了湖裡!

就在那瞬間,比利瞥見一架飛機墜落在島上。一個人類從飛機裡逃出來,比利心想這是他唯一能逃脫的機會……
